Arrest warrant issued for van der Sloot after woman's death
A young Dutchman previously arrested in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway is the prime suspect in a weekend murder of a Peruvian woman, police said Wednesday.

Joran van der Sloot is being sought in the Sunday killing of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in a Lima hotel, Criminal police chief Gen. Cesar Guardia told a news conference. He said the suspect fled the country the next day by land to Chile.

The Dutch government said Interpol has issued an international arrest warrant for Van der Sloot.

Guardia said the 22-year-old Dutchman, who was in the country for a poker tournament, appears with the young woman in a video taken at a Lima casino early Sunday.

The victim's father, Ricardo Flores, told reporters she was killed about 8 a.m. in a hotel room in the upscale Miraflores neighborhood that was splattered with blood, indicating a struggle.

El Comercio newspaper in Lima reported that Flores was stabbed. Her father is a businessman and race car driver.

The killing occurred exactly five years after the May 30, 2005, disappearance of Holloway in Aruba, a Dutch Caribbean island.

"We have an interview with a worker at the hotel who says she saw this foreigner with the victim enter his room," said Guardia.

Van der Sloot was twice arrested but later released for lack of evidence in the 2005 disappearance of Holloway, who was on a high school graduation trip to the Caribbean island.

No trace of her has been found and van der Sloot remains the main suspect in the case, said Ann Angela, spokeswoman for the Aruba prosecutor's office.

"What's happening now is incredible," she said. "At this moment we don't have anything to do with it, but we are following the case with great interest and if Peruvian authorities would need us, we are here."

Van der Sloot's late father was a prominent judge in Aruba.

If there was any doubt who killed Natalee, this seals the deal. There is a .00000001 chance "most" of us will ever be suspected of Murder, let alone twice :) This guy is a sick murdering bastard...I have know doubt there are other bodies lost at sea in Aruba.

5th Anniversary of Natalee Holloway disappearance approaches...
Song dedicated to Natalee Holloway, who went missing in Aruba, around May 30, 2005. I felt a personal connection with Natalee, dunno why. A telepathic affinity, an ESP connection? Lyrics to "Identity Thief" were posted on soundclick.com a few days before her disappeance, and mention Aruba by name.

Steve I. did wonderful work setting the story to music.

Really magical, kudos Steve.

==============================================
here's the lyrics to "Identity Thief," posted May 27, 2005, days before Natalee disappeared in Aruba. seems joran may have used a knife this time, and "machu picchu" is in peru, where joran is accused.

"He's served time for him it ain't hard
To get online, get your credit card
slip past the privacy guard. AFTERWARDS

After he is thru, thru with you,
You'll have to prove prove you're you.
On Welfare relief....

IDENTITY THIEF, IDENTITY THIEF

Pirannas in the coves, sharks on the beach
He cruises by til you're in his reach
Jamaica, Aruba, Machu Picchu.
You're a person of interest to men in blue.
He'll shield your assets with lawyer's briefs....IDENTITY THIEF..

Atlanta supermarket salad bar
He's a Romantic playing Spanish guitar
in his well-appointed electric car
literary caddy who almost shoots par.
the man on the plane who buys you drinks
with eyes of love your glasses clink
and your heart feels weak....IDENTITY THIEF

He'll steal your pearl girl
He'll pluck your most personal treasure girl

Girl, you're on his coral reef
He's a tsunami, though his touch is brief.
You may wanna call him Mack the Knife
He's the perfect stranger' who'll change your life,
leave you in the cold,on welfare relief..Identity theif.."

JORAN ARRESTED IN CHILE...(update)

"A day after being named the prime suspect in the murder of a Peruvian woman, Joran Van der Sloot was arrested Thursday in Chile, an Interpol spokesperson confirms to CNN.

Authorities say there is "incriminating evidence" linking the Dutch national, 23 – who was previously arrested in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway but later released – to the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez, 21, whose body was found Wednesday in a Lima hotel room registered under Van der Sloot's name, Cesar Guardia Vasquez of Chile Interpol's criminal investigations unit said at a news conference.

Van der Sloot reportedly entered Chile on Wednesday and was spotted in Arica, near the Peruvian border, according to investigators. He is currently in police custody in Santiago.

Ricardo Flores, the father of the murdered woman, thanked police in Lima Thursday and told reporters, "I hope my daughter will be happy to know that this murderer is going to pay for what he has done," according to the Peruvian newspaper El Comerico.

Van der sloot was arrested while in a taxi on his way to Vina del Mar, a coastal city in Chile, according to the paper..."
